  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in Saturday's lineup

    Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting third against the Angels on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Torres did not start in Friday's series opener after tweaking his hamstring against the Angels on Thursday, and one day off has been enough for him to return to the lineup. He's started the season slashing .300/.360/.475 with four stolen bases, 13 runs scored, four home runs and 15 RBI in 89 plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Resting against lefty

    Holliday isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    With left-hander Kris Bubic due to start on the bump for Kansas City, the left-handed bat of Holliday will stay put in the dugout. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at second base instead and bat ninth.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Resting Saturday

    Arias isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.

    Arias will get a day to collect himself Saturday after going 0-for-10 with two runs scored across his last three games. His absence will give Brayan Rocchio a chance to start at shortstop while batting eighth.

  • Edouard Julien 2B | COL

    Twins' Edouard Julien: Idle Saturday

    Julien isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

    Julien will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 2-for-16 with a home run and five strikeouts over his last five games. His absence will put Kody Clemens at second base.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Sitting third straight

    Campbell (ribs) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Saturday will mark Campbell's third consecutive absence due to rib discomfort. A trip to the injured list doesn't seem imminent, though the Red Sox may begin to consider it if the rookie's health doesn't improve soon. David Hamilton will continue to fill in at second base while Campbell is out.

  • Mauricio Dubon 2B | ATL

    Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting third straight

    Dubon isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Saturday will mark the third consecutive absence from the lineup for Dubon while Brendan Rodgers starts at second base. Dubon had started three of the Astros' previous four games leading up to Rodgers' stretch of starts, and it seems the two players have fallen into a timeshare at the keystone.

  • David Hamilton SS | MIL

    Red Sox's David Hamilton: Two steals in win

    Hamilton started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two steals and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins.

    Hamilton filled in at second base for Kristian Campbell (ribs) for a second straight day and was productive again. Hamilton has gone 4-for-7 with three stolen bases in the two games, but Boston manager Alex Cora believes Campbell will be ready to play Sunday, per MLB.com. Hamilton has five steals over 39 plate appearances this season.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Expected back Saturday

    Campbell (ribs) is expected to rejoin the starting lineup Saturday against the Twins, MLB.com reports.

    Campbell sat out the last two games due to discomfort in his ribs. David Hamilton has filled in for the rookie.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Enters for injured teammate

    Schneemann entered Friday's game as a pinch runner for Jose Ramirez (ankle) and stayed in the game. He went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored.

    Schneemann replaced Ramirez on first base in the third inning and remained in game at second base while Gabriel Arias moved from second to third. The Guardians have described Ramirez's injury has a minor-grade sprain, which makes it sound like he won't miss much time.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Goes deep in win

    Keith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-1 win over the Angels.

    It looked like another tough game for Keith, as he was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts prior to the ninth inning Friday, but he managed to salvage the night with his second home run of the season. The young infielder is still batting just .182 for the year, though he's been a little better lately with both of his long balls coming over his last three contests.
